Recognize Law Enforcement Service
& Sacrifice During National Police Week
FBI Releases 2017 Statistics on of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted
According to statistics collected by the FBI, 93 law enforcement officers
were killed in line-of-duty incidents in 2017 - a 21 percent decrease from 2016,
when 118 law enforcement officers were killed in line-of-duty incidents.
Additionally, in 2017, there were 46 law enforcement officers killed in
line-of-duty incidents as a result of felonious acts - a 30 percent decrease
from 2016, when 66 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the
line-of-duty. To access the FBI's 2017 Law Enforcement Officers Killed and
Assaulted report, please visit
www.fbi.gov.
In October 1962, Congress passed and President Kennedy signed a joint resolution
declaring May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day to honor law
enforcement officers killed or disabled in the line of duty. The resolution also
created National Police Week as an annual tribute to law enforcement service and
sacrifice. During Police Week, which is observed from Sunday, May 13 to
Saturday, May 19, 2018, our nation celebrates the contributions of police
officers from around the country, recognizing their hard work, dedication,
loyalty and commitment in keeping our communities safe. justice.gov
Shootings of police have jumped 73 percent this year
U.S. House Committee Passes 'Protect and Serve' Act
According to the Fraternal Order of Police, there have been 87 shootings of
police so far this year. Of those, 28 died.
For comparison, 46 police died in shootings in all of 2017, according to the
Officer
Down Memorial Page.
On Wednesday, the bipartisan Protect and Serve act passed in the House
Judiciary Committee to tackle those who target police, such as the violent
MS-13 street gang that has called for "assassinations" of New York cops.
The national Fraternal Order of Police urged House Speaker Paul Ryan and
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to push for full House passage next week, which is
National
Police Week.

DHS Reissues National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin
Since 2015, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has used this Bulletin to
highlight the continuing terror threat to the U.S. Homeland. The United States
is engaged in a generational fight against terrorists who seek to attack the
American people, our country, and our way of life. An informed, vigilant and
engaged public remains one of our greatest assets to identify potential
terrorists and prevent attacks.

PETA Undercover Employee
PetSmart store leaders booked on animal cruelty charges following raid at
Bellevue store
Leaders of a Bellevue PetSmart store that was raided earlier this year have been
booked on misdemeanor animal cruelty charges.
 Citations
for the suspects say each of them failed to provide care for small animals.
Their charges stemmed from a raid by Metro Police and Animal Control at the
PetSmart in One Bellevue Place along Sawyer Road on March 29.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) provided authorities with
photos, video and information concerning sick and injured animals not receiving
proper care. PETA said Nashville authorities acted fast as the raid was executed
three days after submitting their findings.
An eye-witness for PETA worked at the store as part of its investigation.
PETA said a guinea pig at the Bellevue store suffered multiple illnesses that
eventually spread to its heart, brain and elsewhere. PETA also said a mouse died
after a month of suffering from an irritated eye and apparent respiratory
infection.
A statement released by PetSmart reads: "It's abundantly clear that
PETA is behind these false criminal charges, and that PETA is misusing the
criminal justice system for their own agenda. We are confident that the judicial
process will vindicate our PetSmart associates, and we look forward to exposing
PETA's own misconduct and abuse of the criminal process in court."

Cocaine Use Up - Meth "Skyrockets"- Opiates Decline
Workforce Drug Positivity at Highest Rate in a Decade
The changing types of drugs and geographical variations challenge the ability
of employers to anticipate the 'drug of choice' for their workforce or where to
best focus their drug prevention efforts.
Driven by increases in cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana, drug use by the
American workforce remains at its highest rate in more than a decade.
The analysis of 2017 data also suggests shifting patterns of drug use, with
cocaine and amphetamines positivity surging in some areas of the country and
marijuana positivity rising sharply in states with newer recreational use
statutes. Prescription opiate positivity rates declined dramatically on a
national basis.
For the fifth consecutive year, the positivity rate for cocaine increased
in the general U.S. workforce across every specimen type.
Double-digit year-over-year increases in at least four of the five past years
were seen in the states of Nebraska (91% increase between 2016 and 2017), Idaho
(88% increase), Washington (31%), Nevada (25%), Maryland (22% increase), and
Wisconsin (13%).
Methamphetamine Positivity Skyrockets in Midwest and South Regions.

Dollar General Denied Early Win In Sex Misconduct
Suit
Company Response "Painstakingly Slow"
A Mississippi federal judge on Tuesday denied Dollar General's bid for an early
win in a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit alleging a former
sales associate was subjected to allegedly unwanted physical contact and
propositions for sex from a now-fired store manager.
The EEOC had also said that after Hankins told an assistant store manager - who
in turn told the company's district manager and senior human resources manager -
and a lead sales associate about the alleged harassment, the company had a
"painstakingly slow" response to the reports.
The judge said that when the company was confronted with certain evidence -
including testimony that the district manager didn't take any perceptible
measures to respond to the harassment report he received - the company
"essentially waves its anti-harassment policies in the air and would have
this court ignore the manner in which those policies were actually carried out
in this case."

Retailers Must Invest In Their Workers -- Their
Survival Depends On It
Faster than retailers have been closing stores, they have been shedding workers.
This comes from a report in
The Wall Street Journal. With unemployment at historic lows (3.9%), and its
lowest level since 2000, and the U.S. economy adding jobs for the last seven
years and seven months, the longest stretch in history, the people losing their
retail positions are likely to be weathering the storm. The same cannot be said
for the retailers that are left understaffed with their customers underserved.
"Many retailers are at the tipping point of cutting too much labor,"
Craig Rowley, a senior partner at executive search firm Korn Ferry
International, is quoted as saying. I'd say, rather, they have already tipped
over that point.
In lowering personnel costs to improve their bottom line, retailers are costing
themselves dollars on the top line. "Retailers need to move past the inclination
to minimize cost by understaffing stores because it has a big impact on
profitability."

Democrats Propose Bans on Noncompete, No-Poach
Agreements
Congressional Democrats unveiled legislation April 26 aimed at stopping
employers from entering into no-poach agreements and requiring workers to sign
noncompete clauses in employment contracts.
 In
addition to addressing noncompete language and compacts between employers that
agree not to hire from one another, the package of legislation would also
"prohibit the consideration of spurious economic efficiencies-like corporate
layoffs-to justify anticompetitive mergers," according to a press release from
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., a co-sponsor of the legislation.
The legislation package includes a proposal to prohibit noncompete clauses that
prevent employees from moving to a company's competitor. The Workforce Mobility
Act would ban noncompete agreements in the workplace by establishing that these
contracts violate antitrust laws and by providing employees with a private right
of action if they are illegally forced to sign a noncompete agreement.
The bills likely won't go far without Republican support, but the issues
contained in them could be elevated during the 2018 midterm elections.

'Skim Reaper' developed at University of Florida
to fight credit card skimming
After three years of study, Patrick Traynor, a cybersecurity expert and two UF
graduate students invented a device they call the "Skim Reaper," a credit-card
thin gadget that slides into card reader slots and can easily and quickly detect
if an ATM or gas pump has been compromised. The New York Police Department is
testing the Skim Reaper with some early success.

Visa Claims Resolution Already Speeding Up
Dispute Process
VCR, which is already in effect worldwide, standardizes procedures and
timetables to resolve disputes between consumers and vendors more efficiently.
A major factor in the service is that it streamlined dispute categories down
from 22 to four, as well as reduced the time limit that merchants have to
respond from 45 to 30 days, which is scheduled to drop even more to just 20
days.
"A major benefit for consumers is that merchants are now required to disprove
customer evidence up front," Tepfer says. "Since no additional information
is allowed be added afterwards, the merchant now has just a single opportunity
to deny the consumer's allegations before Visa reaches its decision regarding
the case," he explains.
"But, in exchange, Visa customers now have just a single opportunity to present
all of their evidence and arguments when they open their dispute file," Tepfer
cautions. "This enhances the added value consumers have by working with a fund
recovery service.

Securing Madison, MS - All retail locations
required to have external security cameras
In 2017, a new ordinance went into effect in Madison requiring external security
cameras on the buildings of retail locations. Existing business were given until
March 2018 to come into compliance.
The ordinance requires security cameras to monitor the parking lots and entry
and exit of doors. The requirement applies to retail business centers that have
25 or more parking spaces and/or a 2,000 square-foot building. The camera must
operate from two hours before the opening of the first business in the retail
business center, during business hours and two hours after closing of the last
business. These areas are also required to post signage informing the public
that the area is under surveillance, with at least one sign per every 250
parking spots.

A.T. Kearney: Retailers in for big hit if U.S. exits NAFTA
New tariffs, reduced retail spending, and lost jobs are among the outcomes
if the United States exits the 24-year-old North American Free Trade
Agreement.
The near-term cost to retailers of leaving NAFTA is estimated at $15.8
billion in added tariffs and reduced margins, according to a study from
global strategy and management consulting firm A.T. Kearney. The retail industry imports $182
billion of goods from NAFTA partners.

Macy's One of the First True Omnichannel
Retailers
RFID Is the First Step Toward Digital Transformation
Editor & Founder of RFID Journal Article
Companies that want to be truly digital-and truly efficient and effective, and
take advantage of advances in artificial intelligence-need to deploy radio
frequency identification technologies. Here's why.
Why? Because RFID enables companies to collect vast amounts of information in
digital form regarding what is happening in the real world. It's not the only
way to collect information without human involvement and at a low cost-video,
robots, wired sensors and other systems will clearly play a role-but low-cost
RFID tags can be placed on the vast majority of things companies own that have
no power source and move around. That allows businesses to vastly improve the
way in which they do business.
Macy's has also used RFID to break down the wall between the physical and
digital worlds. The retailer is utilizing the technology on many of the
items in its stores, so it has a high degree of confidence in its inventory
data. Most other retailers do not. Whereas most retailers will not show
inventory in nearby stores to customers shopping online unless they have
sufficient safety stocks, Macy's is willing to expose all of its inventory
because it knows that if its systems say there is one item left, then there
really is (see
Macy's
to RFID-Tag 100 Percent of Items).
Breaking down the wall between the real and digital worlds means Macy's can
easily carry out "buy online, pick up in store" (BOPIS) or ship from store. It's
one of the first true omnichannel retailers. But with the data it collects,
it can also use information related to the number of times a given item was
tried on in a fitting room versus how many were sold, and thus make better
merchandising decisions. Eventually, it might be able to utilize AI to more
effectively adjust store merchandising strategies based on local demographics or
weather patterns, or some other sources of data.
Video could help Macy's to understand what customers are doing at physical
stores, the way clicks do online. By combining these technologies, and perhaps
others, retailers will be able to obtain the kind of data at physical stores
that they collect online, and they will then be able to optimize their stores in
a way that was never before possible.

Majority of security professionals favor shorter disclosure deadline
A majority 32% of security professionals polled believe 60 days is a reasonable
time for allowing a software supplier to fix a vulnerability before full public
disclosure, a survey has revealed. However, 25% of 147 security professionals
polled at the RSA Conference in San Francisco by security firm Tripwire said
public disclosure does not need to wait for a security fix from a supplier.

Blockchain is stamping out retail fraud
Tech is a great retail enabler. As a result consumers now demand their products
quicker than ever before and the supply chain has had to keep pace as a direct
consequence. Speed of delivery is one thing, but blockchain is also already
helping retailers ensure their products are what they say they are.
This is especially relevant for food suppliers where the source and age of fresh
produce is of paramount importance, but can be open to tampering. One example is
how supermarket retailers can now track the journey of fish, from sea to
shelf, via an IoT sensor tagged QR code and an app, all thanks to
blockchain's chronological digital record.

Mobile ad fraud rates double, with shopping apps
hardest hit
Mobile fraud rates have almost doubled compared to 2017, with e-commerce the
hardest hit category, according to new data from Adjust. The numbers reflect the
total installations of fraudulent apps rejected by Adjust, a mobile measurement
and fraud prevention company based in Berlin.
E-commerce accounted for 40% of the total installs rejected by Adjust in
the 2018 report, up from 20% in 2017. The games category was last year's leader
with 35%, but declined to 30% this year.
Total damage could reach $4.9 billion in 2018 with a 7% paid install rejection
rate. As a result of one fraud type - SDK (software development kit) spoofing -
some advertisers could lose up to 80% of their ad budgets on single
campaigns, representing tens of millions of dollars.
Mobile advertising is growing fast but so is the fraud accompanying it. U.S.
mobile ad spending will grow 20% in 2018 to over $75 billion, according to
eMarketer research cited by Adjust, and mobile ad fraud represented 7.3% of
all paid installs rejected by Adjust.
"The number of unreported cases of advertisers being victims of mobile ad fraud
is undoubtedly a much higher number." retaildive.com
Alibaba: Fighting Food Fraud With Blockchain
The journey of food from provenance to plate doesn't follow a straight route. It
instead goes through a global network of participants such as handlers,
suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, and retailers. This makes the global
food supply chain fragmented and complex resulting in the growing problem of
food fraud.
Here's how Alibaba (BABA) is leveraging the blockchain technology to enhance the
consumer confidence for food products.
Retail, food, and technology players have been looking for solutions to combat
bad actors. Recently, Alibaba and four Australian and New Zealand companies have
introduced a food-tracking system based on blockchain technology. This
food-tracking system based on blockchain can bring in must-needed transparency
and trackability, which can help detect fake ingredients, substitution or
spoilage must faster.
The increased visibility will benefit all participants; while suppliers will be
able to detect and retrace a specific bad batch, consumers will be better
assured about the quality of a product.
It will use an immutable central ledger to achieve "end-to-end supply-chain
traceability and transparency to enhance consumer confidence and build a trusted
environment for cross-border trade" according to a joint
statement.
The products that are being shipped from New Zealand and Australia will be sold
through Alibaba's premier cross-border marketplace Tmall Global which will
incorporate "a slew of standards and controls to manage the supply-chain
process, including blockchain technology and product tagging with unique QR
codes."
This will make all information, such as the origin and transaction history of
the products, available to the Tmall consumers at their fingertips.

Tired of Seeing Your Productivity Slip After
Lunch? Use These 3 Rituals to Finish the Day Strong
Sometimes we have a strong morning, but right after lunch, the tide starts to
shift and productivity seems to take a decline. If this happens to you, here's

strategy will satisfy. So after your next victory, ask yourself what am I going
to do next?
